An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Style A Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) Dark Passage, the 1947 Delmer Daves San Francisco California romantic crime film noir ("Together again!"; "In danger as violent as their love!!!"; "Their crowning achievement together!"; "The hunted become the hunters... As a spectacular Saturday Evening Post serial is brought to the screen!"; "From the Novel by David Goodis"; about a man who was wrongfully convicted of killing his wife, and he escapes from San Quentin and then has plastic surgery to disguise his appearance, and he hitchhikes a ride with beautiful Lauren Bacall, who offers to help him find out who actually killed his wife) starring Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Bruce Bennett, Agnes Moorehead, Tom D'Andrea, Clifton Young, and Douglas Kennedy. Note that this was the third movie in which Humphrey Bogart co-starred with Lauren Bacall. They first met during the filming of "To Have and Have Not" in 1944, and then were married in 1945. They re-teamed for "The Big Sleep" in 1946, and then made this movie the following year. They teamed again in "Key Largo" in 1948, but they did not make another movie together after that, likely having a lot to do with their having two children.

We have never auctioned one from the first release of this movie in 1947 in all our years of auctioning, and it has a very different image from that of the other posters! Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It has a long, fine scuff line running through Bogart's and Bacall's forehead and hair. There is a scuff marks in Bogart's cheek entering into Bacall's nose. There are scuff marks in the right of Bacall's cheek and hair and some other creases, smudges and scuff marks scattered in the image, but much more so around the edges of the poster. There is a small tear in the right of the bottom border that has a piece of tape on the back and a diagonal crease on the bottom left blank corner. In spite of these defects this extremely rare poster could certainly be displayed and enjoyed, or one might choose to have restoration performed, but that will be up to the new owner of this cool poster.
